PROPOSED ORDER OF DISMISSAL
On January 29, 1996, a petition was filed seeking a modification of the application of 30 CFR 75.364(b) to Petitioner's Wabash Mine, located in Wabash County, Illinois. The Petitioner alleges that application of the standard will result in a diminution of safety to miners and that the alternative method outlined in the petition will at all times guarantee no less than the same measure of protection afforded by the standard.
